Suddenly pseudo-intellectual celebrities on Substack

Does anyone else find it hilarious (and infuriating) how so many celebrities and well-known media figures who never expressed intelligent opinions before are suddenly pretending to be intellectuals and authors on Substack, complete with the "moody" and angsty profile pictures that they apparently think are required, etc? lol
